St. Mary’s claims first ever Southern MN A Football Conference title with 18-0 win at home against Springdfield 10/12
Springfield had a good game plan and they came to play. This was the hardest hitting game we had all year. Springfield did a good job of forcing us into some key mistakes. I give them alot of credit. There D-Backs impressed me the most. They covered our pass better than anybody else this year. They have a good football team and they could be a dangerous team in the playoffs.
Our defense won the game for us. They played stong the entire game. Our offense turned the ball over a few times and gave Springfield some short fields and the defense held strong and also forced some turnovers and got us out of jams a few times. Its great to see that when our offense is struggling the defense picks up the slack.
On offense Springfield got us out of our Rhythm. They were forcing some poor routes on our receivers and they were attacking the run. When we did start getting into a rhythm and were getting a good drive going we would turn the ball over. We have to fix our fumbling issue. We cant afford to give good teams the ball for free.
Losing Alex Mages early in the game hurt really bad. He has been anchoring the Right Tackle spot all year and was a good Senior Leader. I think that definately hurt our running game.
